Chapter 1326 Uninvited Guests

"So..." Mephisto stood up from the table and started walking towards one of the shelves and grabbed a book to read, "What makes you think that I'll help you out?"

"For starters, you agreed to meet despite me demanding something nonsensical." Kisuke answered while taking a step forward, "And next is just my speculation but I have a feeling that you're very much frustrated with how things are right now."

"Hooh..." Mephisto took a peek at him from the corner of his eyes, "And what makes you think that?"

"One reason is that your Grauzauberer is now the only remaining medium sized faction that's remaining neutral. Those guys must be hounding you to pick a side."

"Isn't it more accurate to say that I'm taking my time to sweeten the pot?"

Kisuke smiled and continued, "But that isn't the main source of your headaches. How many of your Magicians have already taken those hands?"

Mephisto turned his eyes back on the book but didn't say anything.

Kisuke also didn't say anything since he's giving Mephisto a think.

A few minutes later, Mephisto turned around and started walking towards his table but his eyes never left the book he was reading.

Kisuke patiently waited for a few more minutes until Mephisto finally opened his mouth, "I'm under the impression that the Ouroboros Academy hasn't taken any side, but who's the maniac you decided to follow?"

"Maniac, you say." Kisuke chuckled, "Quite a grudge you've got there." Mephisto finally stopped sounding him out, Kisuke thought.

It was as Kisuke had said. Mephisto is currently plagued by headaches and frustrations. It is not a big secret that Mephisto is quite protective of his organization of Magicians, not because he wants them as his weapon for his influence, but a shield given to the Humans as a way to protect themselves from Angels, Devils, Gods, and any other supernatural out there.

It was the will of his late contractor, Johann Georg Faust. Mephisto decided to continue that same will while believing that it was the path to move forward.

But these days, the world has become divided between two sides, and the people he blames for it are the founding members of the Tri-Faction Alliance.

While it was founded to safeguard the world against the evils threatening to destroy it, it has now become plagued with internal conflicts that have become so dangerous that they themselves became a danger to the world they're trying to protect. But because they're not 'evil', there's no effective method of putting them in their place.

The problems didn't stop there, however, the Magicians who are supposed to be the vanguard against the encroaching influence of these warring factions have now become part of them and are now dragging down the whole of Human civilization that had just started adjusting to all of this.

Mephisto was actually skeptical of what the Ouroboros Academy was trying to do, pulling in the normal citizens into this dangerous side of the world but now he's glad that they actually pulled it off since it could have been even more dangerous if only the select few who had access to power. It was because of this that he was actually willing to hear out Kisuke when he contacted him.

"Or do you want me to officially join the Ouroboros Academy? You of all people should know that it'll only result in more ruffled feathers that would benefit no one."

Instead of answering, Kisuke changed the topic, "You're probably wondering why I appeared before like this and it has something to do with what I want to propose to you."

"And that is?"

"Please allow me to join Grauzauberer and accept those pesky offers."

"..." Mephisto turned his eyes towards Kisuke once again, "For what and who's offer?"

"Infiltration of Shiva's ranks."

"I didn't think I'd be explaining this to you, but even with me vouching for you, you won't get anywhere near where it matters the most given your unknown identity. Besides that, you won't be able to fool Shiva's eyes no matter how good your disguise is." The disappointment was apparent in Mephisto's voice.

"Fair points, but I'm not really aiming for Shiva."

"...Not for Shiva?"

"The ones behind this proxy war, if you know what I mean."

Mephisto raised his eyebrows, "Them? If you can't reach Shiva or Indra, there would be no way to reach them too."

"That's true, normally, that is."

Mephisto stared at Kisuke for a while then closed his book, "Before we talk about the specifics of that, let me hear what you really want to achieve here."

Kisuke, with a very 'innocent' smile on his face, answered with the brightest voice he could, "I'm actually a huge fan of Indra. I want to fulfill his wish of all out war with Shiva so I'm thinking of setting up the most grandiose stage for them to duke it out~!"

Mephisto's eyes shot wide open but Kisuke didn't stop there and continued, "And this stage that I'm talking about won't just be on a worldwide scale, but a galactic one~ I'll also make sure that there's a proper viewing and betting system in place! It'll be the event of the millennium and they won't be bothering anyone else as they wring each other's neck!"

A few seconds later, laughter rang out that was heard throughout the whole building that was twisted in space. One of the magicians working on some research looked up and muttered, "It's been a while since I heard the chairman laugh. Looks like something good happened."

A few days later, Kisuke was in Rome, drinking coffee in an open-air cafe while reading a newspaper with a headline, [Tri-Faction Alliance On The Verge Of Dissolution.]

'Was this their brilliant idea to secure manpower?' Kisuke asked himself as he took a sip from his cup, 'Not too shabby.'

Kisuke was supposed to work with Mephisto closely to bait out the hiding Evies and Etouldes but he had to postpone that when he suddenly felt a familiar aura arriving within his vicinity. Mephisto was confused but Kisuke had to make a sudden exit before things got too complicated.

Just as he finished reading the paper citing the reason for the dissolution was the distrust between its members, his eyes caught two women, one with long deep red hair and another with short white hair, 'So she's really here... I hope she knows how to react.'

The same as him, the two women are also staring at him from a distance, "Is that the guy you said will help us out?" Asked the woman with deep red hair.

The one white-haired one nodded and answered as she took a step forward towards the blonde man, "I'm sure. Let me talk to him first."

"How did you even know someone from Draconic Deus?" The red-haired woman muttered in suspicion.

Seeing them approach, Kisuke also stood up and walked towards them. Before they could say anything, Kisuke smiled and said first, "Hello there ladies~. I've noticed that you've been watching me, is there something I could do to help? Ah, my name is John Smith, by the way. Nice to meet you."
